Your findings suggest that a number of minor changes be made to the road markings and signage at the rail crossing, and on the approaches to it.
Whilst the required modifications may not have contributed to the incident, staff are reviewing the signage and road marking at this rail crossing and all other crossings in the city. This will be done in conjunction with Transfield rail staff. It is expected that any changes identified as being necessary will be in place by 30 October 2005.
